I think the game was pretty fun! Man do I hate that monk with a passion, but I'm guessing that is intentional. One way how it could be improved is to add some sort of feedback at the end of levels why the level is being skipped. I'm not sure whether the party members keep yelling at me in between levels because its part of the story, or because I'm hitting failure states. Just a 'Level complete' or 'Party Wipe' screen would have been helpful in that regard. I audibly laughed when the giant flying skull thinks people were being a bit harsh on the healer.

The music and main character are great! Sometimes I found it confusing on what is an enemy and who is on your team

fun game! I think it's better to make the healing beam locks on, it gets quite annoying that it keeps disconnecting at certain distance.
nice writing btw! :))

Interesting take on the theme! The party dynamic definitely gave me old school MMO vibes. Joining Scar at the end was cathartic.
Took me back to WoW days haha and was great use of theme. Not sure if i am the reason the shit heals stereotype exists or your teammates never say anything good lol.
I like the mini boba fett guy. The artwork is fantastic. I think this looks really cool. It was a bit to get use to at first, but the ai is really good.
lol @ jesus the tf2 medic wizard. Played it all the way through and had fun, big jump in damage a couple levels in but was able to power through it. My only real issues were that characters would go off on their own sometimes and that the characters were drawn underneath the final boss so it was hard to see where to click for healing. Fun game, great work!
Nice clean graphics. I didn't have an immediate idea of how my abilities work.
simple concept, well done! enjoyed the experience of keeping an AI squad alive. my biggest comment is that it needs more visual feedback for just about every action in the game. the short narrative was hilarious though

I kept my team alive and they still hated on me. As a past-life healer, this whole game had me cracking up! Overall well done on the story great character development, Jesus, lol. Humor fit really well with the great gameplay concept of chasing morons through a dungeon! I found it fun and challenging to manage my cooldowns. Loved the choice of abilities, healing bomb was my best friend. Pretty well balanced cooldown durations and effectiveness and the Music was damned hype!
I would definitely keep leveling up my Jesus to take better care of those boneheads. Maybe a Heal over time, or cooldown/pickup that makes beam more powerful. Other deities with different abilities? More forgiveness on the healing beam target lock. Well done!

Great and fun game! Definitely got the feeling of playing a healer and what the experience is like. The music fits the theme. Great all around game!
PS: The Monk character needs to chill out and not go so ham all the time!

Great experience! It really makes me a appreciate all that a healer does. The names are amazing, fun story and the music was fantastic. I have to say, it was hard to tell what my abilities were, but over time I got used to it. I'm sure that's how Jesus really felt.
Also, I hate the fairy monk, He doesn't know how to kite and keeps taking the aggro from our tank.

This game is so awesome!! I love how healing can become your greatest challenge. lol I appreciate what the healer is meant to do and if you are the healer man do you need to be quick. The name jesus is also a great touch.

very fun, I liked the mechanics, good variety of spells, the graphics are fine, I particularly liked the second dungeon. I see it promising adding different heroes to support and more spells 57975_153891381304331_4083941_n.png

We like the music a lot, great job building something with NPC and enemy AI plus multiple abilities, quite a feat! Great job.

You did a good job making me want to murder the NPCs. Played this one all the way through and enjoyed all of it. Who knew playing a healer was actually kind of fun?
Remembered of dungeon animes like goblin slayer and more.. Great nice music..

Yep def hated the group. Would've liked to have had the pleasure of experiencing the ending a bit more first hand vs. reading it but enjoyed the game. Great job!
Very nice game! I liked the mechanics. One small gripe was the big skull, my team went behind it and healing them was a lot harder - though I guess that might just be a part of being a healer lol
